I agree completely with you, I dislike WalMart too, but then this California creep has to go & bash Texas. I don't think about California very often one way or the other, until they bash us. That makes me wonder why they do it. Do they feel threatened in some way?

They're jealous. :)

Easy. To use the Rumfield Analogy, California (and the rest of the 'blue zone') is "old America", Texas and the rest of the Red Zone is "New America". . .

Texas represents everything that is the enemy of the San Fran crowd. Blue Collar, known for oil, Republicans, guns, SUVS(Last time I was in TX (too many years ago), my dad's Bronco was called a "Texas Lincoln"), conservatives, cowboys, Southern and Western, straight talkers, football.
